Tension as Boko Haram Threatens to Bomb University of Ibadan

A terror group has sent a letter to authorities at the University of Ibadan, threatening to bomb the institution before October 1st. The letter was circulated among staff members and students, causing tension and fear.

The group, al-wilayat al-Islamiyya Gharb Afriqiyyah, say it will attack UI for bringing western education into Nigeria.

“You people are an embarrassment to Nigeria and are the people that brought in western education to Nigeria. You doomed this nation and in turn you all are going to be doomed. Most of you are going to die before Independence Day. You will not spend the Independence Day in peace, you and your students," the group said.

“Detonation will start going from tomorrow till Independence Day and there is nothing you can do as we are among you. Even your little searches at the gate won’t do anything. By the time we are through with you, your government will be sorry.”

Authorities have dismissed the threat, saying it's the handwork of confusionists and that it has beefed up security measures.
